I am female founder of a recruitment technology start-up. I started my career as a Midwife having over 20 years' experience. I then became a Researcher, passionate about making recruitment to health professions fairer. I also have a close family member who is dyslexic. She experienced issues when interviewing for her first job despite being very personable and capable. However, the online interview assessment typically used by the majority of large retailers was a barrier due to the processing challenges she faces. She is not alone; 15-20% of the UK population is neurodivergent. Neurodivergent means having a brain that works differently from the average "neurotypical" person with conditions like autism, ADHD, and dyslexia. We also know there are thousands undiagnosed. This unfairness results in a significant unmet need in a rapidly growing online recruitment space.Our market research has identified box-ticking exercises regarding inclusive hiring, for example, widgets added to websites to enhance readability, but which have unknown impact. Currently, there is no state-of-the-art online selection platform optimised to provide a level playing-field for neurodiverse individuals or the interview stage of recruitment. The resulting social injustice is a human rights issue. Moreover, negative economic consequences accrue due to the untapped human potential. Unlocking this would provide vital uplift in the current diminished labour market as well as enhanced productivity by up to 20% through diversity hiring.In 2020 we were funded by Innovate UK to build an online interview and assessment system called SAMMI grounded in a unique and widely used scientific methodology, called 'Multiple Mini-Interviews' (MMIs). Originating in admissions to medicine, MMIs use between six and ten short independent assessments, typically in a timed circuit, to obtain an aggregate score of candidate's soft skills. They are proven to reduce bias and enhance fairness. SAMMI brings MMI online and automates and standardises much of the manual processes involved in their administration. We have multiple institutional customers and our data on \>1000 applicants shows SAMMI is consistently reliable and fair across age, gender, and ethnicity.Now, this project will enable us to better understand key accessibility optimisations necessary for neurodiverse individuals and deliver a co-designed system fit for purpose. Our established connections with neurodiverse stakeholders allows us to explore what communication modalities, screen settings and personalisations will facilitate their performance. A new tested software will result as well as recommendations to inform policy regulating online recruitment technologies

我是招聘技术初创企业的女性创始人。我从事助产士的职业生涯，拥有20多年的经验。然后，我成为一名研究人员，热衷于使卫生专业招募更公平。我也有一个阅读障碍的亲密家庭成员。尽管非常有风度和有能力，但她在面试时遇到了问题。但是，由于她面临的处理挑战，大多数大型零售商通常使用的在线访谈评估通常是一个障碍。她并不孤单。英国人口中有15-20％是神经化的。神经变性意味着具有与自闭症，ADHD和阅读障碍等状况的平均“神经型”人不同的大脑。我们也知道有成千上万的未诊断。这种不公平导致在迅速增长的在线招聘空间中，我们的市场研究已经确定了有关包容性招聘的盒装练习，例如，添加到网站上的小部件以增强可读性，但影响不明。目前，没有优化的最新在线选择平台为神经多样性个人或招聘的面试阶段提供水平的比赛。由此产生的社会不公正是人权问题。此外，由于未开发的人类潜力，负面的经济后果产生了。解锁这将在当前减少的劳动力市场中提供至关重要的提升，并通过多样性招聘提高生产率高达20％。在2020年，我们由Innovate UK资助，建立了一个在线访谈和评估系统，称为Sammi，以独特而广泛使用的科学方法论，称为“多个Mini-Mini Interterviews”（MMIS）。 MMI源于医学的入院，通常在定时电路中使用六到十个简短的独立评估，以获得候选人软技能的总分。事实证明，它们可以减少偏见并提高公平性。 Sammi带来了MMI在线，并自动化并标准化了其管理中涉及的许多手动流程。我们有多个机构客户，我们在\> 1000名申请人上的数据表明，Sammi在年龄，性别和种族之间始终可靠且公平。我们与神经多样性相关者建立的联系使我们能够探索哪些沟通方式，屏幕设置和个性化将有助于其表现。将会产生一个新的测试软件以及建议，以告知监管在线招聘技术的政策
